Russian Gazprom transfers additional natural gas to Turkey

Gazprom stated on Monday that Gazprom sent extra natural gas to Turkey in the past ten days after an explosion occurred in the pipeline which was transferring natural gas from Iran to Turkey.

Gazprom noted that it transferred 426 million cubic meters of natural gas to Turkey between August 25 and September 4. The Russian company sent 42 million cubic meters of natural gas daily during that ten-day period. Currently, the amount of natural gas dropped 18 million cubic meters --the regular level.

On August 24, terrorists staged an attack on Iran-Turkey natural gas pipeline near Catalpinar village of Eleskirt town in Turkey's eastern province of Agri. The natural gas transfer halted due to the explosion.
